COUNTRY MUSIC MEMORIES


		V.1)         
                        JUST A LAD OF EIGHT, I'D GUESSTIMATE
			I WAS PLAYIN' MY DADDY'S FLAT TOP
			AFTER SITTIN' BACK WATCHIN' EVERY MOVE HE MADE
			FROM THE " MAN IN BLACK" TO ELVIS
			AND A LITTLE CHEATIN' HEART
			WHEN HE PLAYED OLD SHEP, I KNEW MY CHOICE WAS MADE 				AFTER SUPPER CHORES AND HOME FROM SCHOOL
			I'D GRAB MY "KAY" GUITAR AND STOOL
			AND ON THE FRONT PORCH SLAPPIN' MOSQUITOES AND 			                TRYIN' TO SING
			WE'D BE PICKIN' AND A'GRINNIN' JUST ME AND MY PA
			LIKE ROY AND BUCK ON OLD HEE HAW
			AND LET THE PINE TREES BE OUR NASHVILLE AUDIENCE

		C.)	AND HE SANG, TIMBER I'M FALLIN'
			WITH MY TWO PART HARMONY
			SEND ME THE PILLOW THAT YOU DREAM ON WAS IN "C"
			SIXTEEN TONS AND WHATTA YOU GET
			HE WAS SINGIN' FROM THE HEART
			HE SAID, "HELLO, I'M JOHNNY CASH"
			I WAS LUTHER ON GUITAR

		V.2)	NOW TWENTY SOME ODD YEARS HAVE PASSED
			BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY
			I WAS BEGGIN' HIM TO TEACH ME WABASH CANNONBALL
			HE DON'T PLAY AS MUCH AS HE USED TO
			AND THAT'S ALRIGHT
		                
                        GOT THESE COUNTRY MUSIC MEMORIES TO RECALL
			AFTER SUPPER AND CHORES AND HOME FROM SCHOOL
			I'D GRAB MY "KAY" GUITAR AND STOOL
			AND ON THE FRONT PORCH SLAPPIN' MOSQUITOES AND 			                TRYIN' TO SING
			WE'D BE PICKIN' AND A'GRINNIN' JUST ME AND MY PA
			LIKE ROY AND BUCK ON OLD HEE HAW
			AND LET THE PINE TREES BE OUR NASHVILLE AUDIENCE

		C.)	REPEAT, TAG, END.
